President Joe Biden has said that more gun laws should be passed in Congress after a shooting in Sacramento, California, left at least six people dead and more injured over the weekend.

In response to the shooting, Biden said Congress needs to “ban ghost guns,” although there’s no evidence that a “ghost gun”—an unserialized and untraceable firearm that can be assembled after purchasing components online—was used during the Sacramento incident.
